Whether it’s providing tools to put a purple octopus on the moon, or enabling teachers to bring arts-infused learning into
the classroom, Crayola is passionate about helping parents and educators raise creatively alive children who we believe
will grow to be inspired, original adults. They’ve inspired artistic creativity in children for more than 100 years - since the
first box of Crayola crayons rolled off the assembly line in 1903. The company began when cousins Edwin Binney and C.
Harold Smith took over Edwin’s father’s pigment business in 1885. Early products included red oxide pigment used as barn paint
and carbon black used in car tires.
After noticing a need for safe, high quality, affordable wax crayons, in 1903, Crayola produced the first box of eight crayons and sold them for
5 cents. Since then, the Crayola brand has grown into a portfolio of innovative art tools, crafting activities, and creative toys that give kids the
power to express all that inspires them as they explore, discover, play, pretend, and dream.
